​

 

You can finally get clear vision without wearing glasses or soft contact lenses or needing surgery! 


Orthokeratology is a specially designed overnight contact lens that you wear while you sleep to temporarily reshape the cornea (front surface of the eye) so that you can see clearly the next day after you remove the lenses in the morning. It is a safe and reliable alternative to glasses, soft contact lenses and laser eye surgery. It can be worn to correct myopia (short sightedness), hyperopia (long sightedness), astigmatism and even presbyopia. It is also a clinically proven method for slowing down myopia progression in children which lowers the risk of developing sight threatening eye disease later in life

How Ortho-K works

Orthokeratology starts when you put the lenses in before you sleep at night. Once the lens is in, it should feel just like a normal pair of contact lenses with minimal discomfort. 


The Ortho-K lenses gently reshape the cornea so that you can see clearly the next day after you take the lens out when you wake up. The cornea is highly elastic so it will always return to its original shape. Therefore the effects of wearing ortho-k lenses last around 24 hours. For this reason, Ortho-K lenses are usually worn every night to maintain the re-shaping effect once the desired cornea shape has been achieved.
